Te aconsejo que me olvides

I received your last letter,
in which you said to me:
'I advise you to forget me,
everything has died between us.
I only ask for my portrait
and all my letters,
you already know that it is not fair
that you still keep them'.
Today you recognize the fault,
you're afraid that I'll say...
that I'll tell the one you know
our intimate friendship;
I am very manly, I do not sell you out,
I am not capable of intrigue!
I understand that, if I were to speak,
I would break your happiness.

But you won't deny
that when you were mine
you said you loved me,
that you weren't going to forget me;
and that blind with affection
you kissed me on the mouth,
as if you were crazy...
Thirsty, baby, to love.

I have no objection
to send you all that,
however, even if you don't want to,
something of yours must remain.
The emptiness you left behind
and the warmth of those kisses
you know that I can never
ever give them back to you.
I do it for your sake
avoiding a compromise,
I sacrifice my affection
for your name and your honor;
I am content with my lot,
since that's the way destiny wanted it
but remember well my own,
that I do this for your love!
